Nothingness would expand into infinity. Nothingness (0) doesn't represent a permanent location. Therefore, that could become (+0.0-0.0) x (6 or n). In that case, the size of the universe could become 0 to 0.0. But according to my calculation, the universe converted from 0 to 0.00000 with a mathematical relationship, making the elementary particles, forces, etc. In that case, the size of the universe initial universe was +0.00000-0.00000, and the infinity in the universe was located between +0.00000 and -0.00000. But the universe could continue at the edge (at +0.00000 and -0.00000), making more and more dimensions. The absolute time must continue if there is something (time) even if there is nothing (not even space). And that is why the relative time emerged. Relativeness of the time dimensions is the energy (the universe). The relative time doesn't stop the absolute time in any case. But the relative time can stop relatively. Many directional moments at a moment can make the entire universe while increasing the moments with the expansion of the universe. So the universe is growing making directional moments. Best of luck.

This is great, but i Believe that the infinite void is only truly converted by something I e actual Materiality existeance levels that encompass all actual consciousness dimensions. The void space to Materiality conversion processes have to interact with ‘pure void’ because in its own eternality it predates in ways even the existence of God and God forms. Thus it can only be re identified to any form by the highest Materiality frequency intensity available creation wide, then void integration with dimensions substance begins, thus ‘the best’ is sent to convert ‘the most difficult’ do you find that this makes ‘ structural sense’?

Cosmology and Physics are my favourite fields of learning. I am in my late 60s but still full of curiosity and wonder. This channel has long been and still remains one of my favourites. There was no such thing as the internet when I grew up and was in my 30s before I got my first computer and I believe this fact allows me to appreciate the current information age so much more than people who have never known anything else. The fact that a working-class guy like myself has all this knowledge and learning, not to mention art and culture at my fingertips, a mouse click away still excites and amazes me. The nearest thing to today,s communication network was the Starship Enterprise and its gadgets! I never imagined back then that such wonders would become easily available!

From one Steve also in his late 60s to another, that's exactly how I feel. How things have changed since we were kids. I remember about 20 years ago, I saw the James Cameron documentary called "Aliens of the Deep". It's a fantastic doco. Anyway, JPL- NASA Astrobiologist and Mineralogist Pamela Conrad (now 69 years old) was in a deep submersible submarine testing out a life-detecting laser which would be used on the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity and Perseverance. She made a remark that would be lost on most people. She's testing this laser in a submarine at maybe 1000 meters depth, and having a great time and laughing her head off she says "This is way better than the cardboard box". It immediately reminded me when I was a kid and we would play inside refrigerator sized cardboard boxes. With sticks, tape and marker pens we'd make them into submarines, planes, boats, spaceships etc. and we'd have a grand old time playing and using our imagination. It was so much fun. I think that's what she was talking about, and probably blown away that she finally made it into the real thing. Kids don't do that today, because now they have computers and a whole range of virtual worlds to get lost in. Sure, they're great, but I still have fond memories of the cardboard box submarines and spaceships. And we had the fantastic experience of watching the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs landing men on the Moon. Wow! Those were the days. I'll bet you're looking forward to our return to the Moon, and like me, enthralled by Spacex, and probably hoping that we live long enough to see humans walking on Mars. "May the Force be with you, Steve!" 🚀

We were making our way across the open desert in our strykers ( was with 2CR at the time) and we saw a large, glowing "sphere" that had bright orange light emanating from it. It was maybe 30 to 40 feet above the ground and went east to west at a pace I'd estimate to be at about 5 mph. The entire platoon saw it. We radioed it up to x-ray (HQ) and our MI guy put it into the debrief. Apparently the unit that owned the battlespace west of us saw it too and experienced the same thing. Have no clue what the hell it was. Not saying it was a UFO, but it damn sure wasn't anything anyone had ever seen before. There was a weird "statically" feeling in the air as it passed.

Mathematically it also requires that you be able to observe a larger infinity than the infinity you hope to understand, and how do you ever know you are the largest infinity? If your capacity to observe the space of the universe is the speed of light, and the entire universe is infinitely large and is expanding at some constant rate that isn't infinitesimal; then a point in space at some distance away from you (not even infinitely far away from you, at a distance that is calculatable based on the speed of universe expansion) is moving away from you faster than you can ever hope to approach it or even see it. You can thus have an infinite area of space to observe, but can never observe or interact outside of a specific bubble of infinite space. There could be an infinite number of these bubbles of infinity within a bigger space, and only an entity larger than the infinity that divides these bubbles could observe both of these bubbles unless they can interact.

Fascinating, well written and narrated. I think that the best scientists are those that have vivid imaginations as well as strong scientific abilities. Curiosity starts with "Why?" and " What if?". I really wish I had been better and more confident in mathematics when I was younger, and would have loved to have taken my interests in the sciences much further, but despite that I always try to learn something new every day. I call it "joining all the dots", because eventually you get to see the bigger picture, how different subjects are interconnected. We are often limited by the biases of the time in which we live, constrained by circumstances beyond our control, but so long as we keep being curious we will get there.

I think it's especially amazing for people who grew up without the internet. We had to rely on books, encyclopedias, and other physical resources to learn about the world. Now, we have access to all of that information and more, just a few keystrokes away. It's truly a privilege to live in this time. I'm also a big fan of cosmology and physics.

The fact that we can even begin to understand something as vast and complex as the universe is a testament to the power of human ingenuity. I'm so glad that you're a fan of my channel.

I don't understand the trees and branches and seeds. In the demonstration he has 6 branches coming off of one seed. Why couldn't they do 4 branches off of 1 seed for "tree 2"?

[@BorisJensen]

It's a combination of factors. In the list of trees, the n'th tree cannot have more than 1 node. So the first tree can have only 1 node. That means that if any tree after that first tree has a node with the same colour as the first tree (green), then it contains the first tree as a subtree, and would therefore be illegal. So any trees after the first must be another colour. And since we are talking about Tree(2), then we only have 2 colours, so all subsequent trees must be the same colour (red). Since the second tree can have maximum of 2 nodes, we have a choice of having either 1 or 2 red nodes in that tree. If we choose 1 ree node, then every tree after that would be illegal, because it would either contain the first tree or the second tree as a subtree. If we choose 2 trees, them they must be connected, and so any subsequent trees that contain 2 connected red nodes would be illegal. So the only legal 3rd tree would be a single red node, and after that all trees are illegal. So Tree(2) is 3, since it is the length of the largest series of trees of 2 colours that follow those rules. If you had a tree that branched out into many branches, it would either have too many nodes for its place in the list, or contain a previous tree as a subtree.

[@BorisJensen]

Sorry for the typos, I wrote it on a mobile phone in a train, I hope it still makes sense. Just substitute red for ree, and nodes for trees in the right places :)

[@juliotrujillo883]

One of my earliest memories is arriving logically at the frontier with the infinite. I was playing in the living room of my childhood home one summer afternoon and I remember having just watched some astronomy documentary on TV with my dad the night before. I was constructing a model of the universe based on what I had seen, starting with my local position on a planet orbiting a sun, sun orbiting a galaxy, and then as they say, the galaxies disperse and the universes expands. I arrived at some primitive notion of a ball getting bigger but understood that the universe seemed to be all there could be, and that for there to be a boundary, you needed a contrasting 'not-being' that defines the boundary to 'being', and the inevitable "What Is Beyond The Edge?(!)". I was scrambling to imagine a boundary to 'not-being' beyond the on to 'being' in order to 'capture' totality, but boom... It was a peak experience, I felt hyper perceptive and suddenly aware of the truly mysterious state that I found myself in as a human child. I often say it felt like all of my guts where falling out of my, kind of like looking up at an impossibly large object, or down from a height, like tingly gonads and butterflies in my belly. A defining moment for sure. Anyway, I just wanted to share this article I found a while ago, it's from 1990, fully sourced with notes etc. Basically, it gives a really strong argument for the Big Bang hypothesis being based on a misinterpretation due to fundamental assumptions that have been experimentally and observationally disproven. Given the alarming rates of megalomania and utterly petty and vicious personal attacks these neurotics rail against each other just for having differing opinions! Really, I think academia, specifically the physical sciences, are totally ridden with this. Additionally, when you understand how one culture's breakthroughs can become the foundational assumptions of subsequent cultures, and how early Greek thought undermines all of western intellectual pursuit, I reckon they probably just inherited that queasiness about something that can't be contained within the rational or imaginative faculties. I guess it sucks to know you can never know....

There is so much out there that well never understand because its a part of us, if youre looking for something similar to a bear death experiences disjointed astral beauty alot of people compare it to a dmt trip. Dmt is also a natural neurotransmitter producednin low amounts in out brains

Underrated comment.

Before we were born, billions of years had elapsed. Yet we are totally unaware of it. Had we not been born, such a total unawareness of existence would have continued forever.

I first questioned the reality of infinity when I was around 9. Amazement was followed by question and then headaches and nausea. I could not sleep right for a week before I simply had to acknowledge it was beyond my understanding.

I look forward to new lessons. Yes, lessons. Many times, this video being one such time, I come away from them with a headache. At my age, mid-70’s, exercising my mind trying to get my brain around your work is worth all the time, and aspirins, that that takes. Thank you for all your efforts. Please do not stop.

heya! i love your videos incredible job! one small thing tho (if anyone even finds this comment lmao) in the intro, when quoting antonio padilla the quote is referencing graham’s number instead of tree(3), although tree(3) is a whole lot bigger than graham’s number so you’re right anyway! again you guys are amazing thank you for teaching strangers on the internet about cool space stuff for free :) (the quote is from antonio padilla’s book “fantastic numbers and where to find them” if anyone actually cares lol its REALLY good)

[@robhaver8704]

First time i enjoyed a narration of a possible explanation of infinity and finite that i can relate to, through the narration and the used projections. The actual first time of mutual understanding and simultanious confusion was with the tv-series 'Cosmos' narrated by Carl Sagan. Pleasant and pleasing, this one. Thank you!

[@geebsterswats]

I’ve been subscribed for some time and this is my favorite channel. How do you make such good documentaries? They look like they are ripped from a television program. I fall asleep to the full playlist most nights

[@granthudson5447]

I understand what Mr Padilla meant about his quote. Only so much a human mind can take, I work hard, but even harder. I was a bookkeeper full time and went to college full time. Looking after Fishermans finances. Juggling with family. dreaming about numbers surrounded by numbers, haunted about numbers. I got so overwhelmed man my mind imploded, re-wired I went crazy.

[@DavidvdGulik]

Yeah mr padilla wasn't speaking metaphorically. If you would hold that amount of information in a space the size of a brain, it would literally physically implode into a black hole

[@1acecad]

When I see the title "the horrors of infinite cosmos", I am surprised how different people's feelings may be. It is rather the opposite namely the possibility of a finite universe that invoke feelings of discomfort in me. Knowing that there is no end to space and no end to time would be the most comforting feeling for me.

[@Chireiya]

I had the same feeling. An infinite universe seems easier to imagine than whatever could lay beyond. That's the essence of cosmic horror, I think.

[@ericpreston8877]

No end to space means no end to life. You will eventually experience everything you possibly could.

[@WhiteWolfiee]

You should even with a finite universe feel glad that you exist and might exist again and again if the universe dies out and then explodes with a new big bang over and over again. This life might be just 1 in an infinite amount that are all infinitely different. The universes size could be finite but still repeat. We are all one at the end of the day, everyone a part of the universe

[@citizen_grub4171]

As it turns out, Infinity is the very essence of Lovecraft's stories - actually capable of driving mad anyone who delves too deep.

[@Nordlicht05]

It lies insanity or enlightenment in the comprehension of infinity 😅 maybe only insanity but who knows

[@gamerfox4835]

Yet we are the ones who have made this. Something that breaks us trying understand yet it came from a mind sane man. All I can say is Do not fear the monster in the book but the author made the monster for that is only a spec of their twisted creations.

[@zachialadams9279]

Embrace a little madness, it might just be kinda fun.

[@xboxuser561]

That makes so much since. If these eldritch beings from before the universe were infinitely large, but capable of appearing to occupy only the space of an oceanside, they would definitely drive anyone who just saw them insane. Like, for a moment just try to visualize something that is infinite in size but inhabiting a finite space. Crazy.

Whenever I watched a video from you guys I always had a mixed experiences, like I was fascinated, excited, terrified and had a big headache all at the same time...

[@audiotron1003]

I love this kind of video, it's calming, fascating and ignites my 56 year old imagination. Also at the same time makes me feel pointless in my efforts, small in my importance and also reminds me that I am nothing more than energy and atoms I'm therefore part of the infinite existence of everything.

[@phoenixjim0527]

Same thought. First had it while young. Time is infinite in both directions. Space is infinite in all directions. We are absolutely nothing and everything is pointless.

[@omarosama155]

@@phoenixjim0527 infinty does not exist. If it does that means everything is possible right? Then there should be someone capable of destroying all existence no matter how absurd it is it is less than infinity but we do exist so its impossible that means there’s a limit on what could happen. Or maybe you cant destroy infinity with a smaller one? I dont even know what am saying at this point am just going to sleep now lmao

[@manoelandreisfernandes8747]

But there you are significant enough to write this. The more I understand the vastness of the universe and infinity I stopped feeling small but also important. Probably many like us exists but not in our life time. So I’m out universe as vast as it is we’re unique.

[@CartoonHero1986]

I truly LOVE the paradox of Infinity as a mathematical and tangible term/object. It's about the closest thing to seriously debating theology I will ever get since there is no way to talk about infinity in depth and not start touching on the realms of what seems like magic or spiritualism to the human brain; that is how complex the concept really is. I also love illustrating how number sets are all equal when viewed as infinite, and how infinity by nature is both static and dynamic in its term depending on how you use it when treating it like an object.

[@darthbaker1114]

Absolutely fascinating and explained brilliantly!
